Hi,
It would be useful if there would be a list or wiki of RECOMMENDED APPS to analyse and improve your phone. I suggest these categories and additional infos:
compatibility FP1 / FP2:
= running and no negative impacts found
= not running (e.g. FP2 root necessary)
= do not know / have not tested yet
= problems / malware / other issues- (Username) who tested this app and rates it
Some of these apps were mentioned in the forum:
